We will prevail in the traditional battlefield but I believe the battlefield will be extended to our home front in the next war to include our computer systems. Banks, utility grids, etc etc
Soft targets that can be attacked from a world away and take down a lot of what we are fighting for.

Yep. Take that to the bank. I wouldn't be surprised to see a nuclear power plant taken over and blown up, too.

Blame Trump for lowered interest rates and cheap money.

Study Japan and the Japanese reaction.  It's one reason why the Japanese have bought a lot of home safes and gold.
Japan is a good study....they basically had the same thing we had in the 90s instead of the 2000s.

We are just 10-20 years behind them....there are a tremendous amount a parallels to be drawn
@midcap
Do our differences matter?
Immigration.
Culture of accepting wide amounts of diversity including destructive behavior.
Others?

Right, thanks for the correction.  We hired and now must train and promote a few staff that engage in destructive behavior in their professional and personal lives.

This was my conclusion.  And I couldn't come up with a good plan to get the 60 acres adjacent to me to pay for itself several years back.  Another guy bought it and farms medical mj instead.

There’s no bubble when people are buying and demand is high. Supply/demand as always, dictates price. Wages are rising bigly and consumer confidence is high...means more buying.

If inflations gets out of control then demand drops. The fed is doing this to keep inflation in check in trumps record setting economy.

That’s also the problem with keeping cash, it’s worth less every day.  Another reason market is so hot...no other place to beat inflation

Through VA?

I am at 2.98% IIRC, 30 fixed year.

If 15 year get down to 2%... I'll jump at it.

But right now, its not worth it.

Cool. Common misconception is fed rate is mortgage rate. They do loosely correlate  but are not directly tied to each other.

Eitherway, money is really cheap right now. The fed is fending off inflation hard. That’s their job. When economy supply/demand is super hot their fear is hyper inflation, that would put the brakes on in a heartbeat.

I was going to pay off my heloc that I use for leverage in the market as it’s based on prime rate (prime plus 50 basis). Not any more.

Money is super cheap right now.

Prediction. Tomorrow we break market records. If a trade deal is reached before end of year market up 7% to set 30%+ gains for 2019 to beat the out fucking standing 2017.

The end of year sell offs as people move money for tax purposes will hit November/December. My advisor told me to sell/move at this high to avoid the typical end of year sell off and predictable dip. Done.

I love my president.
